That's my understanding as well... no ethanol, then no sta-bil. I sometimes leave no-eth gas in the tanks of overwintering yard equipment, with no problems, starts right up.

And here is a tip to have good supplies on hand of no-eth gas - I run it in EVERYTHING now (except cars):

In a 5-gal clear jug (walmart $5), dump 2-3 gallons of gas station eth-polluted gas. Add a liter of water. Shake. In 2 days, after complete settling, siphon out the water/eth mixture. You are left with pure no-eth gas.

Water has a much higher affinity for eth than gasoline, and the eth jumps from the gas to the water, leaving pure gas.

THe only issue might be changes in octane, however, I've had no problems, and only advantages.

Agreed. There is a gas station near me with no ethanol gas, and that is all I use for my lawnmower and generator.

And, like you, I have had no problem starting either after them sitting all winter.

And here's a better tip: (unless you cant afford it,) run ethanol-free in your vehicles too!
